June 10 to June 17 ~ Theme: “The Eucharist: Communion With Christ and With One Another.”
...“The Church draws her life from the Eucharist, she receives her
own identity from the gift of Christ's own Body. In
communion with His Body, the Church becomes what she receives: she
becomes one body with Him in the Spirit of the new and eternal covenant. What a
great and marvellous mystery! A mystery of love! …
…When we
receive Communion, the Spirit of the Lord present in Christ's Body passes into
our hearts and into our bodies, making us one new ecclesial
body, the mystical body of the Lord. This ecclesial body is our deepest
identity.”
Cardinal Marc
Ouellet
